Simple Ways to Start Preparing for Your Job Search While Still in College by Katelin Kalgren

We all know that to achieve your dream job, you will need a good resume. Most people only

look toward creating a stacked resume and skip over some of the smaller, helpful tasks

We all know that to achieve your dream job, you will need a good resume. Most people only

that will help them prepare for their future.

1) Connect with professors

For almost any job or internship, you need references. After class, most students leave or

do not take the time to get to know their professors. Even just participating in class makes

a significant difference. By getting to know your professors personally and being an active

participant in class, they will be able to be great references for your next job.

2) Take Advantage of Resources

Many colleges have ample career and professional development resources. For instance,

my college has a photo booth to take free professional headshots, and they have a place

where you can get an entire professional outfit for interviews and more for free. Also, they

have peer editors to work on your resume one-on-one with you.

3) Hone Your Skills

Most colleges give students access to LinkedIn Learning for free. Here, you can work on

skills you might not be able to in the classroom or work on something different from your

normal classes to expand your knowledge of more topics. You can even earn professional

certificates to enhance your LinkedIn profile.
